INSTRUCTIONS

This will make about ? a pot of soup. I usually double it so I have some for leftovers.

In a large saucepan, heat 1 1/2 tablespoons oil over medium heat. Add onions and cook, stirrring constantly, until golden, about 5 minutes. Add the hard and soft chorizo and saute until the soft has melted and the hard has browned slightly. You want the fats from the chorizo so don't remove any! Add garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add potatoes and cook, stirring frequently, 5 minutes longer (of using left over cooked potatoes omit this step). Stir in chicken broth and 1 cup water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover and simmer until potatoes are softened, about 15 minutes.

With a potato masher, mash potatoes directly in saucepan. (If using left over potatoes add them now and mash). Add salt, and pepper and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, and simmer about 5 minutes. Add kale and simmer until tender, about 5 to 8 minutes longer.
